Hot Springs

I have taken a little girls trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas this weekend. I've never been and have always wanted to check it out. So far, it's not what I was expecting. It seems a little run down and you can see at one time that the buildings and old, boutique hotels were hoppin', they just haven't had a lot of love put into them since then. The people are sweet as can be and that definitely makes a place enjoyable. We haven't hit the bathhouses yet, but I'm looking forward to that experience as that's a big part of what Hot Springs is all about. The apartment we are renting is really cute with huge ceilings and Shabby Chic decor. Definitely my taste! A little French/European touch with vintage furnishings. I love it! Here are a few photos thus far...Happy Weekend to you!

Farm Chic

Summer is moving fast.  Our life is full of appointments, but all for good reason.  We are 6 weeks away from closing on a new house.  Remember that little sneak peak I gave a post or two ago?  I'm hesitant to post anymore photos until I am standing inside, key in hand.  I just want this to finalize and I'm careful to not jinx anything.  I'm sure it will work out, but just careful.  I have been waiting for this house, this land for years.  Right outside town.  Quiet, peaceful, open space.  A little farm with a creaky, old house.  Walls with 112 years of stories.  I.Simply.Can't.Wait.   I anticipate the newness of living.  Of how your daily routine changes when you move into a new place.  Of what life will be like in the country.  Of watching my little one romp around on our land.   Until it is truly ours, here are some photos from my Pinterest board Farm Chic that are inspiring me for farm living.
